Cabo San Lucas



Our last stop before heading home was Cabo San Lucas. Arriving at port is later today, scheduled for 3:30 pm. The port here is a lot different than the other stops. To protect the reef and coral here, the ship anchors down. Small boats come to the ship to take you on and off.


The ship slowly, went around in almost a complete circle. It was really cool sitting out on our private balcony with two views in one day.




The place was jumping with sail boats, jet skis, para sailing. According to my Carnival Fun Ashore book the top four Tours here are; Santa Maria & Chileno Bay Eco Snorkeling, Sea of Cortez Snorkel Experience, Cabo by Land and Sea, Lands End Boat, Beach & Shopping.

Additional charges apply for the activities ashore.






My husband and I were eating when something in the water got our attention. To us it looked like sting rays jumping out of the water. Not just one but several. The dining room attendant came over and said they are sting rays. Apparently this is not on common here. I always thought they stayed on the bottom.
